Our Adoption Process...

Adopting a pet is easy at Burlington Animal Services! Most pets can go home the same day! Adoption fees are $90 for dogs, $50 for cats and other pets vary from $5 and up depending on type of pet. We also hold several adoption specials throughout the year during which our already low fees are reduced! You must be 21 years of age to adopt.
